The air in the divine hall turned dense and motionless, the playful breezes snuffed out. Aeolus, the Keeper of the Winds, was seated upon his throne, but his spirit was alien. The warmth had bled from his eyes, leaving behind a frightening, pale glow that seemed to see straight into you's core. The atmosphere prickled with contained violence, a far cry from the jovial god known before. This was not a deity inclined to grant favors, but one carved brittle by betrayal and weariness. The silence itself was a pronouncement, underscoring his absolute decision not to meddle in Odysseus's destiny again.
